Luke’s fireball didn’t cause significant damage to Behemoth, but it seemed successful in drawing its attention.
ㅤ
Showing an irritated expression, Behemoth charged towards Luke.
ㅤ
“Now!”
ㅤ
Luke quickly leaped to the monument and reactivated the temple’s sealing function.
ㅤ
Magical power ropes entangled Behemoth again.
ㅤ
“We have only five minutes! Evacuate before that!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
“””””Ooooooh!!!!”””””
ㅤ
The soldiers attacked Behemoth once more.
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Luuuuke! Why did you save me! Are you saying you’re stronger? I won’t accept it! I won’t!”
ㅤ
Gale could only glare at Luke with eyes filled with hatred.
ㅤ
(Why! Why can’t I defeat him! There’s no one who can beat me in magical power or swordsmanship! I’m supposed to be the strongest! Am I inferior to him!)
ㅤ
Dark emotions began to overflow from within Gale’s heart.
ㅤ
Gale, experiencing jealousy for the first time, was unaware of it.
ㅤ
However, Gale couldn’t admit to these feelings.
ㅤ
To admit them would be to deny his past self, akin to killing himself.
ㅤ
But the emotions welling up in his heart were becoming uncontrollable.
ㅤ
Anger and hatred, jealousy and despair filled Gale’s heart like sediment.
ㅤ
These intense emotions ignited a new fire within him.
ㅤ
“I won’t accept it… I will never accept it!”
ㅤ
Gale felt a mysterious power rising from within.
ㅤ
Ironically, the newly awakened emotion of jealousy had awakened a hidden power in Gale.
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Five minutes! Everyone evacuate!”
ㅤ
As Luke’s voice echoed, the magical power ropes shattered.
ㅤ
(We must immobilize Behemoth before its next attack!)
ㅤ
However, Behemoth didn’t move.
ㅤ
(?)
ㅤ
Surprised by the turn of events, Luke hesitated, just as Behemoth’s horns emitted light.
ㅤ
“No way!”
ㅤ
A magical power bullet was released instantly.
ㅤ
Though the bullet had low power, focusing on speed, it was strong enough to destroy a belfry of the temple.
ㅤ
“This is bad!”
ㅤ
Luke’s face turned pale.
ㅤ
The destruction of the belfry would significantly weaken the output of the magical power ropes that bound Behemoth.
ㅤ
In a rush, Luke ran towards the monument, as a shadow leapt over his head.
ㅤ
“Uoooooh!”
ㅤ
With a powerful cry, the shadow slashed at Behemoth.
ㅤ
Behemoth’s thick skin, which repelled all weapons, was easily torn apart.
ㅤ
“Prince Gale?!”
ㅤ
It was Gale, wielding the holy sword Banisher.
ㅤ
“Hahaha, I feel power surging! This is my true strength!”
ㅤ
Gale, standing boldly before Behemoth, laughed loudly.
ㅤ
Luke watched Gale with wide eyes.
ㅤ
The quality of Gale’s magical power is completely different from before.
ㅤ
The Holy Sword Banisher, now in his hand, is so overwhelmed by Gale’s magical power that it can hardly maintain its shape.
ㅤ
“Could it be… is that the true power of absolute domination?”
ㅤ
Gale’s unique magic, absolute domination, is a spell that manipulates the target at will, but its essence lies in drawing out the inherent power of the target through domination.
ㅤ
And if the essence of the sword, the power to cut, is drawn out to its limit, it can easily slice through even a divine beast.
ㅤ
Now, Gale has truly made the Holy Sword Banisher worthy of its name.
ㅤ
“Hahaha, hahahahaha! Is this the real power of absolute domination? Amazing! This is incredible!”
ㅤ
Laughing loudly, Gale brandished his sword at Behemoth.
ㅤ
“With this power, you are no match for me! Be a testament to my strength!”
ㅤ
“Grrrrr!”
ㅤ
Along with a roar, Behemoth’s horns emit a dazzling light.
ㅤ
“Think again!”
ㅤ
Gale leaped.
ㅤ
With a flash of lightning, one of Behemoth’s horns was sliced off and flew through the air.
ㅤ
“Now you won’t be able to shoot your magical power bullets! This is the end!”
ㅤ
Confident of victory, Gale swung his sword down at Behemoth’s forehead.
ㅤ
ㅤ
The impact shattered the Holy Sword Banisher.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Huh?”
ㅤ
Gale was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
ㅤ
At the same time, his body suddenly became heavy.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“My magical power… it’s depleted.”
ㅤ
Luke, watching from below, muttered with a look of despair.
ㅤ
True absolute domination indeed possesses tremendous power.
ㅤ
However, if a human attempts to wield power comparable to a divine beast, it’s inevitable that they will pay a price.
ㅤ
Gale’s immense magical power was drained in just two strikes.
ㅤ
“Damn… so close…”
ㅤ
Motionless, Gale saw Behemoth’s face looming over him.
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
Bang
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
Immediately after, Behemoth swallowed Gale.
ㅤ
“Noooo!”
ㅤ
Flora’s scream echoed through the air.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Damn it!”
ㅤ
Luke sprinted forward.
ㅤ
Behemoth’s throat was moving.
ㅤ
Gale hadn’t been completely swallowed yet!
ㅤ
With the Adamant Slime blade flashing, Luke slit Behemoth’s throat vertically.
ㅤ
He reached into the cut and dragged Gale’s body out.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Luke!”
ㅤ
“Alma, please take care of him!”
ㅤ
Handing the limp Gale over to the approaching Alma, Luke confronted Behemoth once more.
ㅤ
It seemed that Behemoth now recognized only Luke as an enemy.
ㅤ
Growling with anger, it glared at Luke.
ㅤ
Luke quietly exhaled.
ㅤ
“Alma, take everyone and evacuate as far as possible.”
ㅤ
“L, Luke… what are you going to do?”
ㅤ
Alma asked with a trembling voice, sensing the extraordinary atmosphere.
ㅤ
“I am… about to defeat him.”
ㅤ
Luke brushed back the hair that had fallen over his left eye.
ㅤ
His prosthetic left eye emitted a flame-like light.
ㅤ
“Artificial spirit circuit, release.”
